Workplace Retaliation & Whistleblower Protection

There are a number of state and federal laws protecting California employees from acts of retaliation in the workplace. For example, The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), a federal law enforced by the EEOC, and The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), a California state law, both prohibit employers from retaliating against employees for protesting illegal workplace harassment and/or discrimination.

Listed below are just a few examples of the many forms of discrimination the FEHA protects against:

If you engage in protected activity under the law such as complaining that you are being discriminated against for being in a protected group and your employer takes adverse action against you, an inference of retaliation may be created under California and federal law.

The legal team was always professional and courteous. They understood the dedication necessary to fight against a large organization. The Armstrong Law Firm fought for my rights with tenacity and empathy. Regardless of the continuous push back from my former employer they continued to always move forward.

If you have suffered workplace retaliation for reporting wrongdoing, or if management has led you to believe that you will suffer retaliation, you may have a course of action against them. Alternatively, if the retaliation you suffer takes the form of sexual harassment or racial harassment, it may constitute the creation of a hostile work environment. You may have additional options to obtain relief and compensation for the wrongs done to you.
